All but maybe one or two are b&w film (slide& print) on a 35mm SLR. I've got update that site, it's kinda old! Just got to explain how I RUINED this piece! I really liked it before I stained it, shoulda quit while I was ahead. The wood didn't take the stain right at all, turned the teeth, what I wanted lighter, REALLY dark, almost black. The flat areas just came out blotchy and muddy, and came out real light in areas. Well it is what it is, time to move on! I'll put up some more shots, I thought the back was cool, where I left some of the bark on, gives it an alligator back kinda look. Also video coming!
